FAQs

Who is this notebook best suited for?

This notebook is ideal for individuals who experience visual stress, such as SEN learners and people with dyslexia. It's also beneficial for anyone who prefers a less glaring writing surface.

What is the purpose of the blue tinted paper?

The blue tinted paper is designed to reduce visual stress and improve focus by providing a softer, less reflective surface compared to traditional white paper.

Can I use any type of pen with this notebook?

Yes, the notebook is compatible with most standard pens and pencils. For very wet inks, it's advisable to allow drying time.

How do the micro-perforations work?

The micro-perforations are small cuts along the edge of the page that allow for clean and easy tearing. Simply pull the page away from the binding along the perforated line.

Why is it called an A5+ size?

The 'A5+' designation means it's slightly larger than a standard A5 notebook. This ensures that when pages are removed, they are a full A5 size, fitting perfectly into A4 binders without overhang.

How many pages are in the notebook?

The notebook contains 100 pages of writing paper.

Does the wire binding allow the notebook to lay flat?

Yes, the robust wire binding is designed to allow the notebook to lay perfectly flat on a desk or table, making writing more comfortable and convenient.

Troubleshooting

Pages difficult to tear cleanly

Ensure you are tearing the page along the micro-perforation line with a firm, steady pull. For best results, tear away from the binding.

Ink bleeding or feathering

While the 80gsm paper is high quality, some very wet-based inks (like fountain pen inks or markers) might show slight bleed-through. Allow ink to dry completely before turning the page, or consider using a different writing instrument.

Wire binding is bent or damaged

Gently try to straighten the wire with pliers, being careful not to over-bend or break it. If severely damaged, it may affect the notebook's ability to lay flat.

Cons

  • Blue tinted paper may not be preferred by all users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This notebook requires no setup. It is ready to use straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility:

  • Writing Instruments: Compatible with most pens, pencils, and markers. For very wet inks, allow a brief drying time to prevent smudging.

Care:

  • Keep the notebook dry and away from extreme temperatures.

  • Clean the cover with a slightly damp cloth if necessary; avoid abrasive cleaners.
